On-line shopping is on the rise, especially when you live in rural Connecticut. We order just about everything through the mail. Boxes flock to our house in different sizes and shapes and as you know, these big box companies seem to love to put small things in ridiculously large boxes--thank you AMAZON for giving me a reason to blog! ​

So what do we do with said boxes?Why not create something that sparks your little one's imagination?

My oldest has basically cordoned off a small area of our garage to collect big boxes and with each new box she will proclaim what we will transform it into--an airplane, a rocket-ship, a town of small boxes and even a 'paint' shop (I'm guessing because we've been renovating my Office space...)

This March Break, why not consider a big, brown box 'building' project with your little ones? Spend a little creative time together while constructing something magical for them to play in. SPOILER ALERT--you might even get some much-deserved quiet time while your kids soak up all the adventure of space!
